According to the Allied Pilots Association, which reps the pilots for American Airlines, if a pilot is traveling in uniform on airline business, they will only be required to show two forms of photo ID — their company ID and a government-issued ID — which will be checked against the flight crew database.

“This looks good. It’s basically what we’ve been after for 10 years,” says a rep for the union. “Pilots are not the threat here; we’re the target.”
